Journals search

I really miss
having access to current scholarly journals as they come out. I know some
lovely people who help me get hold of things I REALLY want, but I loathe having
to self censor what I want to get hold of. Anyways, today I am just making a
note of articles I would love to see but won't ask for at present, either
because they are not directly related to writing up a PhD/MPhil/MRes/MA
application, or because they're in a language that I can't (yet?) read... The
list also contains some articles I'm fairly sure I've read, but think I
probably will need to re-read while writing up so that I have their facts
straight in my head (nothing like not fact checking to get you a swift kick
into the NO pile!). What set this off? Well a post
from Magistra about one of the sessions I attended at the IMC led me
to wondering whether Elizabeth Archibald had
published anything on the subject of her talk since I last checked. I couldn't
find anything, unfortunately.

Drawing upon
a wide range of primary sources, this article argues that a study of the
medieval laundress can illuminate wider social attitudes to hygiene as well
as to low status women. Having considered the many types of laundry workers
active in England and northern France between c.1300 and 1550, it examines
the techniques they used, as well as the hazards encountered through exposure
to difficult conditions. Such factors, along with the freedom of movement
enjoyed by many laundresses, often harmed their collective reputation. That
responses to those who dealt with the community's dirty clothing were highly
ambivalent is reflected in contemporary writing about laundresses, and in the
measures taken to regulate them. Finally, we turn to remuneration. The
sporadic survival of financial evidence means that our knowledge of wage
rates remains impressionistic. But some laundry workers were surprisingly
well rewarded. This confirms the value placed, in elite households at least,
upon the cleanliness of personal linen.

Abstract:

In the late
Middle Ages, the city of Siena (Italy) had a high population density and had
to face the problem of supplying water within the city walls for housing,
crafts, economic and commercial activities, as well as for the risk of fire.
A network of underground drifts, namely ''Bottini'', was then built,
achieving a total length of about 25km in the late XIV Century. The Bottini
have been capturing and conducting rain water from the countryside to the
fountains in the city centre for centuries, and still provide an average
9.5Ls^-^1 of clean water, though it is not drinkable nowadays. Currently,
water provided by the ancient aqueduct is only used to fill a set of monumental
fountains, and is then wasted. In this paper, we have investigated the
environmental performance of the water supply in Siena, comparing results
from the analysis of the historical Bottini and the contemporary water supply
system. In particular, an emergy evaluation was developed in order to account
for the environmental resource use of the water management system,
considering both the historical and the modern aqueducts, and providing
information on their ''sustainability''. Specific emergy, measured in units
of equivalent solar energy (solar emergy Joules - seJ) per liter of water
provided, as well as the Environmental Loading Ratio and the Emergy
Investment Ratio, were used as indices of environmental performance. Results
have shown that the Bottini have a lower environmental impact in terms of
rate of renewability with respect to the contemporary system. Based on
statistics on water use in urban centres (drinking, washing, gardening,
etc.), we argued that keeping the Bottini alive is not only a good practice
for the conservation of a precious cultural heritage, but could be a
potential opportunity for improving urban ecology.

Abstract:

Matching the
literary and rhetorical topoi of medieval Latin and neoclassical literature,
early European traditional culture deployed narrative, iconographic and
dramatic formulas which effectively functioned as `vernacular' topoi. Through
repeated occurrence each acquired distinctive resonances which then did not
need to be expressed more elaborately in a given work, so leaving modern
scholarship the task of reconstructing them. At least three such vernacular
topoi - mock shaving, consignment to a cesspit, and impaling on a spit -
occur in the sufferings Marlowe associates with the death of the King in
Edward II, either by adapting his historical sources, or by choosing between
alternatives. Exploration of their occurrences in medieval and folkloristic
sources reveals that these topoi invoke liminality by subjecting ambivalent
creatures (fools, pigs, babewyns) to transgressive experience (cooking,
`washing' in filth) in interstitial environments (carnival, sewers,
manuscript margins). Their presence reinforces, even as it is triggered by,
Edward's own liminality in relation to a number of categories, and is
compatible with recent suggestions linking Marlowe's play to the sufferings
of Christ developed in Baroque religiosity.

Abstract:

This article
explores the striking links and parallels which existed between the frontiers
of Normandy and of Wales, particularly between 1066 and 1204. It takes its
cue from the fact that both frontiers were identified as `marches' at that
time. It argues that while the frontier of Normandy was not a precursor of
the March of Wales, experiences made by the Normans on their `home frontier'
did help shape their contribution to the making of the Welsh March. Moreover,
this essay contends that during the twelfth century, the borders of Normandy
and of Wales evolved, in important respects, along similar lines. Thus, both
`marches' came to be characterized by an exceptional density of castles and
uniquely long-established castellan dynasties controlling compact lordships
(to the best of their ability). By 1204, these features had helped foster the
notion that the marches of Normandy and Wales were similar kinds of
frontiers, despite the differences that undeniably existed between them. By
implication, the famous liberties of the Welsh Marcher lords were, at first,
irrelevant to the concept of the `march' of Wales. This supports Professor
Sir Rees Davies's view that the Welsh Marcher liberties only became an issue
in the thirteenth century. Finally, therefore, this article argues that it
was the very features shared by the Norman and Welsh `marches', rather than
claims to immunity, which first paved the way for the inclusion of the
conquest lordships of southern Wales within the region identified as Marchia
Wallie.

Abstract:

There has been much recent
examination of late medieval lay piety in order to understand the background to
Henry VIII's reformation, notably Colin Richmond's studies of the
`privatised' religion of the English gentry. Such work has largely
over-looked papal sources and the associated issue of
relations between English and Welsh society and the papacy. This article
seeks to remedy this neglect by presenting new evidence from the registers of
the papal penitentiary. In the late middle ages the papal penitentiary was
the highest office in the western Church concerned with matters of conscience
and the principal source of papal absolutions, dispensations and licences.
Petitions seeking such favours were copied in its registers, and this article
especially concerns petitions from English and Welsh gentry seeking licences
to have a portable altar or to appoint a personal confessor (littere
confessionales). It also examines their requests for various other favours
that illustrate their piety, notably regarding fasting, chastity and
pilgrimage. The article contests Richmond's notion of `privatised' gentry
religion and similar distinctions between elite and popular or personal and
collective religion. It appends translations of three significant documents
from the penitentiary registers and a statistical table concerning requests
for littere confessionales.

·Title: Medieval and Renaissance Matrons, Italian-style [Women were
able to commission art and architecture in fourteenth and fifteenth century
Italy in a variety of ways, even if their involvement in the production of
images and construction of buildings wasn’t as widespread as men’s. For
instance, wealthy widows could control the making of large, public images such
as funerary altarpieces, while nuns could commission artwork and buildings
through convent endowments. Through their acts of patronage, these “matrons”
challenged conventional expectations that women inhabit a small, private
sphere. The author also analyzes how women chose to represent themselves
visually within the works they commissioned. Title note supplied by Feminae.].

·Illustrations: Thirteen Figures. Figure One Guariento, “Crucifixion with
donatrix, Maria Bovolina, Kneeling,” circa 1360, tempera on panel (Bassano del
Grappa, Museo Civico). This large crucifix features its patroness Maria de’
Bovolini holding a rosary while kneeling at the right hand of Christ; she occupies
the space in the image conventionally reserved for a male donor or spectator.
Figure Two Guariento, “Crucifixion with donatrix, Maria Bovolina, Kneeling,”
circa 1360, tempera on (Bassano del Grappa, Museo Civico). Detail of Maria
Bovolina. Her family’s coat of arms is at the base of the cross opposite her.
Figure Three “Coronation of Mary with attendant saints,” 1370-1, wood panel
(London, National Gallery). Commissioned by Benedictine nuns of San Pier
Maggiore in Florence for their high altar. Center panel depicts the Coronation
of Mary with saints, and above in the upper tier are panels depicting the
Adoration of the Shepherds and Kings, the Resurrection, the Three Marys at the
Sepulchre, Ascension and Pentecost; the Trinity is at the apex. Figure Four “Fina
Buzzacarina presented to the Virgin and Child by Saint John the Baptist and
other saints,” late fourteenth century, tomb arch (Baptistry, Padua). Painting
depicts Fina kneeling before the seated Virgin and Child; Fina takes the place
of honor at the right hand of Christ, to the viewer’s left. She is surrounded
by both male and female saints. Figure Five Main dome, late fourteenth century
(Padua, Baptistry). Altar-chapel dome depicts Christ surrounded by the
Apostles; main dome depicts Christ as Creator, surrounded by angels and saints.
Figure Six Carlo Crivelli, “Virgin and Child with Saints Sebastian, Francis,
and the donatrix, Oradea Becchetti,” 1491, wood (London, National Gallery). The
patroness wears a widow’s dress and holds a rosary while kneeling before the
Virgin and Child; although she is a small figure in the painting, the patroness
is acknowledged by a large inscription at the base of the painting. Figure
Seven Francesco Bonsignori, “Virgin and Child with Saints Zeno, Christopher,
Jerome, and Onofrio, and the donatrix Altabella Avogaro,” 1484, tempera on
canvas (Verona, Museo Civico). Instead of being placed next to the Virgin and
Child within the frame of the painting itself, the patroness is portrayed as if
standing in front of the frame of the painting. Figure Eight Chapel of the
Annunciation, by the Church of San Michele in Isola, Venice. The chapel
commissioned by Margareta Vitturi is on the left-hand corner of the church’s
facade. Figure Nine Fra Angelico, “Deposition with Saints Dominic, Catherine,
and the Beata Villana,” 1436, panel (Florence, Museo di San Marco,). Figure Ten
San Zaccaria, Venice. Photograph shows the Church of San Zaccaria as it appears
today. Figure Eleven “Design for statue of Virgil,” circa 1499, ink and paper
(Paris, Louvre, Cabinet des Dessins). Drawing depicts Isabella d’Este’s plan
for a sculpted monument for the poet Virgil. Figure Twelve Andrea Mantegna,
“Minerva chases the Vices from the garden of Virtue,” 1502 (Paris, Louvre). On
the right is the prison of the mother of Virtue; in foreground the vices stand
in a pond while Minerva (holding a shield) and Diana drive them from the
garden. Fortitude, Justice, and Temperance are depicted as female
personifications looking down on the scene from heaven. Figure Thirteen San
Paolo alle Monache, Parma. Photograph gives an aerial view of the church.
